1 Share of the glass beveller role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the glass polisher profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A glass beveller role treats 11 of its required skills as things a glass polisher already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adjust glass sheets
  • consult technical resources
  • cut glass
  • ensure equipment availability
  • feed mirror machine
  • inspect glass sheet

What stands in the way is 5 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 25 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A glass beveller role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a glass polisher background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held silvering engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held rinse glass handling and moving
  • already held adjust measuring machines working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held tend coating machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held adjust glass sheets working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held feed mirror machine handling and moving

All 25 carried skills, including the 11 the glass beveller role treats as required.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
